Olivia Dunne shares ‘BTS’ inside snaps of Sports Illustrated model debut as fans gasp ‘this changed my day’
LOUISIANA State gymnast Olivia Dunne has given fans a sneak peek into her Sports Illustrated modeling debut.
The social media sensation, 20, posed in a selection of swimwear outfits during her appearance in May's edition of the iconic magazine.
Aside from her exploits in the gym at LSU, Dunne has taken Instagram and TikTok by storm.
She was a millionaire at the age of just 18 and has over 11million followers across the two platforms.
Her SI debut saw her don a number of bikinis and swimsuits as she hit the beach for a January photo shoot in Puerto Rico.
And now Dunne has shared some more shots from the day, including one of her getting her blonde hair brushed by a stylist.
While another even sees her using her gymnastics skills to climb up into a tree.
She captioned the latest pic: "[Behind the scenes] with @si_swimsuit."
Fans flocked to the comment section after seeing the snaps, with one replying: "Absolute perfect 10."
Another said: "This changed my day from good to great."

And a third added: "Such breathtaking beauty."
Dunne used her platform in Sports Illustrated to provide a voice for female college athletes.
And the "arrestingly beautiful" LSU star was a big hit with SI editor MJ Day.
Day said last month: "Usually being a D1 athlete, an all-academic and an industrious entrepreneur is enough to garner respect and accolades.
"But when you are Livvy Dunne and you also mix in being arrestingly beautiful, you unfortunately garner the ire and resentment of a certain niche population.
"The refusal of some to appreciate Livvy for being more than just a pretty blonde is missing the point.
"The backlash she received for 'leveraging' her sexuality for endorsement dollars after the NIL restrictions were lifted is incorrect.
"We are here to celebrate this incredible young woman and encourage the world to respect and applaud Livvy and her fellow athletes for owning the blood, sweat and tears that have fueled a lifetime of achievements."
